A Seymour man charged last week with hitting a teen with his car is facing new charges

NAUGATUCK — A Seymour man charged with striking a teen with his car last week faces new charges after a 17-year-old female reported that he approached her as she walked alone on Millville Avenue, police said Monday.

Brendan Burns, 27, of Fawn Hollow Drive, was charged with breach of peace, police said. A local 17-year-old girl told police she had seen Burns photo on the news and that he was the man who approached her and tried to pick her up on May 5.

The victim was walking on Millville Avenue between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. when she saw Burns in a dark pickup truck drive past, police said. The victim told police he then turned around and asked her several times if she needed a ride.

The victim told police every time Burns asked she said no and he eventually drove off, according to police.

Burns was charged later that day after he struck an 18-year-old male with his car, police said. The male had confronted Burns after a 14-year-old female told him she was being followed.

Burns faces charges including incident with threatening, second-degree reckless endangerment, third-degree stalking, loitering on school grounds and two counts of breach of peace in that incident.
